En la toma final, cuando un niño de la banda "Los Runts" pierde su sandalia y regresa a recogerla, fue un accidente real. Meirelles decidió mantenerlo porque subrayaba la vulnerabilidad de esos niños. 4. ¿Qué pasó con los protagonistas? (20 años después)

The film follows two main characters, Buscapé (played by Alexandre Rodrigues) and Tiago (played by Leandro de Oliveira). Buscapé is a young boy who dreams of becoming a photographer and escaping the favela. He is a sensitive and thoughtful character who is often caught in the middle of the violence and chaos that surrounds him. Tiago, on the other hand, is a charismatic and ambitious young man who becomes a notorious crime lord. He is ruthless and cunning, and his character serves as a foil to Buscapé's more introspective and artistic nature.

The film is celebrated for its "thrilling technical brilliance" and kinetic energy. City Of God (Cidade De Deus) | Reviews - Screen Daily
